Alternative rock/metal band Drowning Pool rocked countless fans at the 2001 Ozzfest Tour, helping propel their debut album Sinner to platinum status in just six weeks. That good news shortly turned tragic following the death of lead singer Dave Williams, but the ever-resilient Drowning Pool has continued to sell tickets under a revolving list of singers, including Jason Jones (2003-2005), Ryan McCombs (2005-2011) and Jasen Moreno (2011-Present). The band is considered one of the best metal bands in concert and have played on multiple Ozzfest Tours. They released their fifth studio album, "Resilience," with new singer Moreno in 2013. "Resilience" features "In Memory Of..." dedicated to the late singer Williams and released on the 10th anniversary of his death, as well as "Saturday Night" and "One Finger and a Fist," which both will be popular at upcoming shows.
Drowning Pool formed in Dallas, Texas, in the second half of the 1990s with guitarist C.J. Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton and drummer Mike Luce. After releasing the platinum-selling "Sinner," Drowning Pool recorded one album with Jason Jones ("Desensitized") before doing two recordings ("Full Circle" and "Drowning Pool") with McCombs. After McCombs decided to rejoin SOiL (who he previously recorded and played with), Drowning Pool connected with Moreno, who joined the band on the road and in-studio in New Jersey for the recording of "Resilience." Drowning Pool is a band that continues to overcome incredible and sometimes horrific obstacles, such as the death of singer Dave Williams; yet they continue to trend forward and serve as one of modern rock's best live acts.
The venue was great. Not over crowded and pretty clean. Drowning Pool was amazing. My only poor remarks are they only had 1 opener with very few songs. Would have loved to see more openers.
Although no seats, the indoor gave the comfort of knowing that no matter weather there would still be a great show for a budget friendly price.
Drowning Pool was good but the lighting at the venue TempleLive Ft. Smith was awful! The lights were so bright a lot of us were having to cover our eyes. I had a headache for two days after . Have been to tons of shows never had this experience before. đ«€
Loved all of the bands the only issues we had was the climate in the venue it seemed to be a little on the hotter side. That was really the only complaint which is at no fault of the bands.
It was great! Everyone rocking together. Security was good and no major incidents occurred
The bands were great. The only complaint I have is... they started late. There were 4 bands and when you have a show in the middle of the week, people have to go work the next day. We had to leave before the end. So we missed part of Drowning Pool. Start on time or just have 3 bands.
We were expecting three bands and were pleasantly surprised to have 4. The opening acts were great! Thrower were young, but did an amazing job. We got to meet the members of Thrower nad Above Snakes and they were all very nice, signing autographs and gear. Saliva was absolutely incredible! Their lead singer did an amazing job keeping the audience rocking! The venue was awesome, the price reasonable and the people were great! Only complaint is the Deadwood Mountain Grand needs a better beer selection. Budwiser and Coors Light are not beer. Cheers!
I had an absolute blast! I wish it was a Friday though haha
Drove two hours well worth the trip .. excellent venue
Drowning Pool and Saliva both sounded fantastic! Both brought high energy and were engaging with fans, great show!!
